Moo Cow's

Harriet And Henry

Callum The Highland - Palette Knives

I have a obsession with cows I don't know why, I have never had much to do with cows a part from enjoy looking at them
over the fence, I love highland cows the most because of there shaggy coats and massive horns.

I am pretty sure I will paint more cows so watch this space.

Bridal Flowers

Acrylics on Canvas

It was my sisters was my sisters fiftieth birthday today, I looked for ages to find her a special present but failed.
So I asked her for suggestions or would she like me to paint her a painting.
Thinking she would ask for a Provence poppy scene or Portugal village nestled in a valley

However she asked me to paint her bridal flowers, Oh my golly, nothing what I would ever consider by my love for my sister and always liking a challenge!
I am not 100% happy with the end result but I tried my hardest - three weeks work!

Her roses were called Patience's

Llangadog

I love the drive from Upper Brynamman to Llangadog, when you reach peek you get the most amazing views over the valley then you hit a super hair pin bend, which deserves a handbreak turn in a classic sports car.

slowly you make your way down toward Llangadog, first over the bridge then turn again to which you look back up at the bridge.... Superb!

Herleva Of Falaise

 This Acrylic painting of Herleva won an award ( I am still amazed!)
Herleva of Falaise... one fateful night in 1027, when an embalmer's daughter found herself having a strange dream that began with an enormous tree bursting out of her belly, and ended as the tree quickly overshadowed the surrounding Normandy before throwing its darkness across the water, and on to England.
The fact that this young girl had, it's believed, conceived that very night the child who would be known as William The Conqueror..

Below are some supposed portraits of Herleva

Monet's Haystacks

My Version of Monets 'Haystacks'

Many years ago a part of a course we was told to copy a painting style of a painter we admired the most mine was Monet, I decided the haystacks looked the most easiest and set about working on this small canvas board ( about A4 in size) I was in for a shock, hours turned into days, days turned into weeks I still had not finished it, those tiny dabs of paint each one a different shade. Finally my tutor took over explained and showed me, when I did totally understand I had an epiphany and a whole new level of respect for Monet...
I still have this piece, although offered for sale no one has ever seen in it what I do...
So here are my haystacks inspired by Monet....

Cornfield Poppies

Cornfield Poppies
Acrylics On Canvas

Poppies are always associated with remembrance
not just those that died in wars and battled but those that endure all of life's battles
for me when I paint poppies I remember my parents and there prickly marriage that lasted 42 years
When it counted there bond grew thicker and to the bitter end they had each other.
